Oh, no probs at all. Happy I could help!

And I should also say that if you are writing your journal with other readers in mind, you can definitely use other tags in addition to #devjournal. But, if you're writing for yourself, you'll make less of a splash if you use less tags.

Also, if you want to repost articles that you shared on Medium, you should be able to import these posts via RSS... check out Publishing to DEV Community 👩‍💻👨‍💻 from RSS in /settings/extensions. That'll make it easier for you to write your blog posts in one spot (Medium) and easily repost them here. To be clear, you can't set up auto-repost... once you set up the RSS link, your posts from Medium should auto import into your dashboard where you can edit and publish them.

Final tip: If you're trying to build up a readership, I recommend not publishing all your imported posts at once, but trickling them out one by one. The homepage (relevant) feed favors current articles, so it's a good tactic to regularly release new posts... and it's much easier to do that if you have a dashboard full of drafts to let out slowly.
